For the first time in Europe, the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum will be hosting the ‘Star Trek’. Welcome Aboard’ exhibition, which includes original items from the “Star Trek” series and films presented on a meticulously prepared set that will beam up visitors to the starship “Enterprise”. The exhibition can be visited until February 2011. It includes a replica of the control bridge, models and original objects as well as audiovisual material relating to this legendary series, that was able to predict the future as it anticipated inventions such as the laser beam, CAT scan, the mobile phone or automatic doors. Pedro García Ribot pointed out that Star Trek “is one of the cult science-fiction series most directly takes its inspiration from science”. As visitors go through the exhibition, they will see more than 10 model starships, two of them large-scale, more than 20 pieces of original costumes and props from the films and series, the replica of the control bridge of the Enterprise, and a collection of 15 character heads, as well as other art and audiovisual content. Visitors will see the different stages in the creation of one of the series.

The exhibition also has one space devoted to the imaginary world of Star Trek and its futuristic sets and accessories, culminating in a life-size recreation of the control bridge of the “Enterprise-D” from the series Star Trek: The New Generation. In an area closet o the bridge we find original items such as Captain James T.
